Retail-cash inflows for high-yield funds totaled $107 million in the week ended July 9, with a $133 million inflow to the mutual fund segment dinged by an outflow of $26 million from exchange-traded funds, according to Lipper.

The net inflow is the third consecutive positive cash reading, for $816 million of inflows over that span. It’s also the ninth inflow in the past 10 weeks for a net inflow of $3.3 billion for that period. The trailing-four-week average dips to positive $144 million per week, from positive $187 million last week.

The full-year reading now shows inflows of $6.7 billion, and it’s roughly 18% related to the ETF segment. In contrast, one year ago, which included the single largest one-week outflow on record – $4.6 billion for the week ended June 5, 2013 – the full-year reading was negative $9.3 billion, with 30% tied to ETF withdrawals.

The change due to market conditions was negative for the first time in seven weeks, but mild, at $127 million. That is essentially nil against total assets, which were $191.7 billion, with 20% tied to ETFs, or $38.5 billion. Total assets are up $9.4 billion in the year to date, reflecting a gain of roughly 6% this year.
